AlphaTheta XDJ-AN
A New Era of Connected DJ Performance
Cloud-connected. Flexible. Designed for modern DJs.
The AlphaTheta XDJ-AN brings together familiar DJ workflows with a range of connected features designed to support the evolving ways DJs prepare, discover, and perform music.
As DJing continues to develop, having access to music, preparation tools, and performance technology within one ecosystem can make the entire experience more seamless. The AlphaTheta XDJ-AN is designed to connect practice at home with performance in professional environments.
More than an all-in-one DJ system, the XDJ-AN combines club-inspired operation with cloud connectivity, streaming capabilities, and wireless technology.
Whether you're learning the fundamentals of DJing, performing at weddings and private functions, creating livestreams, or working professionally, the system is designed to support a wide range of performance environments.
Its familiar workflow makes it approachable, while its connected features create exciting new possibilities for performance.
More Music at Your Fingertips
Every DJ knows how valuable it can be to have access to the right track at the right moment.
With StreamingDirectPlay, compatible music streaming services can give DJs access to an extensive selection of music during a performance.
Instead of relying solely on downloaded collections, DJs can browse a broad online catalogue and discover tracks as they perform. This can be especially useful for open-format DJs and performers who enjoy responding to requests and adapting to the energy of the audience.
It also encourages spontaneity. When an audience requests something unexpected, DJs have greater flexibility to explore new options and shape the set in the moment.
Another advantage is the ability to combine streamed music with tracks stored on USB drives. DJs can bring together their personal collections and online music within the same performance.
For performers who value variety and adaptability, this creates a dynamic and flexible approach to building a set.
Smarter Preparation With Cloud Library Sync
Great DJ performances begin long before the first track is played. Organising music, creating playlists, and preparing cues are all important parts of the creative process.
With Cloud Library Sync, DJs can manage their cloud-based music library through a compatible rekordbox subscription.
Playlists can be created and organised during preparation, while Hot Cues and other library adjustments can also be made. Changes can be synchronised across compatible devices, helping DJs keep their music library organised and up to date.
This connected approach allows preparation to continue across different environments. Whether you're organising music at home or making adjustments before a performance, your library can remain synchronised and ready to go.
The result is a workflow designed to simplify music management and give DJs more time to focus on music selection and creativity.
From Home Practice to the Club Booth
For many DJs, becoming familiar with professional equipment can help build confidence when stepping into a club environment.
The XDJ-AN's layout takes inspiration from AlphaTheta's professional CDJ and DJM systems, giving DJs a workflow that reflects equipment commonly found in professional DJ environments.
This familiarity can make practice sessions even more valuable. DJs can develop habits and muscle memory on their own setup while becoming comfortable with the workflow associated with professional club systems.
For someone moving beyond a beginner controller, this can make the progression feel natural and rewarding. Experienced DJs upgrading their equipment can also benefit from a familiar operating approach.
In other words, practice at home can closely reflect the experience of performing in a professional booth.

Wireless Monitoring With SonicLink
DJ booths have traditionally involved working with headphone cables, but the XDJ-AN introduces another option with its built-in SonicLink transmitter.
When paired with compatible headphones, SonicLink provides ultra-low-latency wireless cue monitoring.
This allows DJs to move around the booth with greater freedom while continuing to monitor their music for beatmatching and transitions.
The cable-free setup can also create a cleaner, more streamlined performance environment. It is another example of how the XDJ-AN brings modern technology into a familiar DJ workflow.
A Flexible Ecosystem for Different DJs
Today's DJs work in many different ways. Some perform from USB drives, others rely heavily on software, while many combine mobile devices, streaming, recording, and livestreaming.
The XDJ-AN supports rekordbox, Serato DJ Lite, Serato DJ Pro, Algoriddim djay, and USB playback.
Its wider ecosystem also includes options such as rekordbox for iOS, djay for iOS, and DJM-REC, giving DJs additional ways to prepare, record, and perform.
This flexibility allows performers to choose the workflow that best matches their needs and creative style.
Whether you're building playlists while travelling, preparing for an upcoming event, recording a professional mix, or performing from a compatible mobile device, the connected ecosystem provides multiple ways to work.

Designed for Home, Mobile and Professional Use
A modern DJ system should be ready to support more than one type of setup. The XDJ-AN is designed to fit into a variety of performance environments, from home setups and studio monitors to mobile DJ rigs, club systems, and larger sound systems.
For professional connectivity, balanced XLR outputs provide suitable connections for professional audio equipment, while RCA outputs offer compatibility with a broad range of other systems.
The inclusion of Bluetooth input and output adds another layer of convenient wireless connectivity.
Combined with AlphaTheta's focus on audio performance, these connection options make the XDJ-AN a versatile choice for a wide range of DJ setups and applications.

Where DJ Technology Goes Next
The AlphaTheta XDJ-AN brings together technologies that are helping shape the modern DJ workflow.
Cloud-based library management makes it easier to organise and access music across compatible devices. Streaming expands creative possibilities, while wireless monitoring provides greater freedom during performances.
At the same time, the familiar club-standard workflow helps keep the system approachable for DJs who want to develop professional habits.
For beginners building their skills, experienced DJs expanding their setup, and performers looking for greater flexibility, the XDJ-AN offers a connected approach to modern DJing.
The path from practising at home to performing in a professional booth is becoming increasingly connected — and technology like the XDJ-AN is helping create an exciting future for DJs.
